La Jolla 08/02/05 AMs - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

lamb · 08-02-2005, 03:07 PM

Just one of those days - set the alarm at 4:00 but got up at 5:00. Got to the Shores at 5:30 but finally launched at 6:15AM. What’s up with those brand new shitters being locked?!? Oh well.

Hardly any swell, mellow wind. Water color brownish in the reserve, getting more into green shade further down south. Visibility 10-ish feet, temp 72-73 according to my fishfinder. Only few boats and yaks out there. I had a hard time getting bait right after the reserve. Trolled rapala and fishtrap in about 70ft for no action. The bait situation got much better once I got in front of the hotel - plenty of greenies and spanish. The spot where I found the bait looked fishy so I stayed there for about 20 minutes. Got 2 nice size calicos, let go. Moved in a about 80 ft and sent one live bait to the bottom, kept one on the surface. Moved a few times, as there was hardly any drift. At about 9:00 Am, my flylined greenback got picked up. The right kind but the wrong size – lil’ 5.5 lbs yeller.

Point is a point is a point.

Matt, 22nd place is too small for 2 of us… LOL

Nice little lamb there Adi. Since I'm not in the mood to get tossed around I think I'll go tomorrow AM rather than tonight.

skiffman · 08-02-2005, 05:42 PM

Much the same for me Adi. Lots of nice Calicos and about a 6lb. Yellowtail I wanted to release but it was bleeding bad so my clients kept it. My clients got kelped 3 times so there are some nice ones to be caught. Nice morning on the water. 69 - 70 by my meter. 63 at Mission Bay channel.

I'll tell you what...You can have it with that fish....I would have thrown it back :twisted: You and Randy should start your own little YT Baby Killer Farm

That's what I'm talking about!!! :lol: Let’s get little fire going…

Matt, I didn't gut hook that baby - it was an accident! :cry: During the vicious fight, he jumped out of the water and landed right on my gaff! Very, very unfortunate. :cry:

But let me tell ya' - I just had it for dinner... Grilled, in lemon & pepper… Yummy...

I'll be there most likely on Thursday AMs looking for his motherlamb. 8)

Moyer, shut up and fish.

DESTROYER · 08-02-2005, 08:27 PM

That wasn't a Lamb...it was a lamb Chop

I love the picture, you stretched it out...are you sure Andy didn't photo shop that one for you to make it look bigger. I just got a call from PETA and there coming after a guy named "LAMB". "Grey Zone", I'm afraid to get my teeth cleaned by you, you might find a baby tooth and yank it out of my mouth :twisted:

P.S. This is called West Coast Whoppers not West Coast Guppies

The fight is on for bragging rights...We all know that 333 points looks huge when you have under a 100.

Matt told me that fish was caught on a sabiki, I told him no way, it was way to small for bait.

Grego · 08-02-2005, 09:02 PM

What in the wide world of sports is goin on here...??? I just can't believe Adi and Randy would do such a thing....you would NEVER, EVER, see MEEEE doing such a thing :roll: BWAHAHAHAHHA :P :lol:

They're just giving me some company, not letting me get trashed talked all by my lonesome :lol:

Matt, how is life on 23rd place? :twisted:

All we need is 150 lbs halibut.

Surfdad · 08-03-2005, 01:31 PM

Question: Did the ghost of Ray Charles gaff that yellow for you?
:shock:

LOL....

Good job on the yellow.

DESTROYER · 08-03-2005, 07:29 PM

23rd place feel so good...it was getting crowded with you dry humping my position. My goal is to just beat Todd, he's planning on winning this thing so I better start drifting for some Halibut
